Chapter 1: Introduction &
Specifications
Product Overview
The FastSwitch 24 (FS-24) is a low-cost Gigabit Ethernet switch device that combines Ethernet
connectivity with the Layer 2 and Layer 2+ features required in Enterprise LAN-based applications.
The device provides 24 ports of 10/100 Mbps and two ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps. Each port can
be configured for auto-sensing or manually selected to run at the desired speed. The non-blocking
architecture enables optimal wire-speed network processing. Also configurable are full/half-duplex
mode control and enable/disable of flow control. The FastSwitch 24 supports 8000 MAC addresses
and 2000 VLANS.
Intended Use
The Innovx FastSwitch 24 (Figure 1-1) is a stand-alone device that can be deployed as a
replacement to legacy hubs or in new installations where Fast Ethernet switching is desired. The
FastSwitch 24 provides efficient, front panel access to twenty-four 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
ports. The front panel also includes status LEDs for all the ports including uplink ports. The robust
features of the FS-24 help remove server bottlenecks, extend the network size, and speed up access
time for all users. FastSwitch 24 is easily deployed throughout the enterprise network with hassle-
free setup, exceptional reliability and no configuration required.
Two front panel slots accept optional feature cards and plug-in modules which provide value-added
fiber/copper uplinks:

Management Access
The FastSwitch 24 provides management access interfaces for local and remote configuration,
management and monitoring the device at its Serial port, Ethernet Service ports and Ethernet Line
ports. Serial port and Ethernet Service ports provide out-of-band interfaces (CLI) dedicated to
switch management. Ethernet Line ports provide in-band interfaces (CLI, WEB and SNMP) for the
user's network and for switch management. Each interface is described below.
Console Line Interface
Console Line Interface (CLI) commands allow the user to configure the Spanning Tree Protocol,
VLAN, MAC Filter, Port Security, 802.1x, and other functions of the FS-24. Users can also monitor
traps, perform service port configuration, etc. CLI commands are executed at the serial port
interface or via a Telnet session.
Web Browser Interface
The FS-24 can be configured and managed via a graphical interface using a web browser. Real time
events such as alarms and statistics can also be monitored using the web interface.
Simple Network Management Protocol
The FS-24 switch provides an embedded SNMP agent for management access via an external
SNMP manager, such as HP OpenView. The FS-24 forwards SNMP statistics and traps so that an
SNMP manager can receive RMON statistics and port alarm traps sent from the switch.

FastSwitch Applications
Figure 1-2 shows FastSwitch 24 devices at the Corporate Office providing up to 24 auto-sensing
10/100 copper ports for flexible desktop and workgroup connectivity. One gigabit per second
uplink provides fast ethernet connectivity to the supporting server. In addition, a second gigabit link
extends the ethernet switch density to 48 ports. Forwarding rates up to 9.6 million packets per
second, non-blocking architecture and resiliency features such as Fast Spanning Tree Protocol and
link aggregation are supported on all ports.
When the Innovx FastSwitch 24 is deployed with companion Innovx access products, an enterprise
network can be extended to cost-effectively reach branch offices. The Innovx FastRoute device
establishes a secure and reliable LAN extension between floors or between buildings, eliminating
expensive routers. The Innovx FastSwitch 9- or 18-Port devices provide scalable ethernet
connectivity to the LAN-attached equipment at remote sites.

Getting Started
The following paragraphs describe setting up the management station for the FS-24.
Naming Ports
Ports on the Innovx FastSwitch 24 can be physical “fixed” Ethernet ports (FEP), a single port on a
user-installed uplink feature card, or a logical trunk in the FS-24 switch. Each port is referred to
using the following naming convention:
<slot-number>.<port-number>
where:
<slot-number> represents the port type and <port number> represents the number of the
physical port within the selected port type.
Slot 0 denotes the fixed 24 x 10/100 fixed Ethernet ports (FEP).
Slot 1 represents an uplink port on a user-installed feature card.
Slot 2 is represents the logical trunk port.
<port-number> is the number assigned to the port. The range and assignment of port numbers
varies by the slot type. The assignment of port numbers by slot number is shown in the table below:
Note In this document, some alternative notations are also used to refer to the port numbers:
PORT#. Refers to physical ports. For example, PORT8 is equivalent to 0.8, and PORT25 and 26 refer to 1.1
and 1.2 respectively.
TRUNK#. Refers to logical trunk ports. For example, TRUNK3 is equivalent to 2.3.
Terminal Access Setup
The RS-232 serial interface is located on the FS-24 rear panel and is used to locally manage the
device. To set up a management station, connect any terminal with VT100 terminal emulation
capabilities using a standard RS-232 serial cable. Configure the management station with the
following terminal settings for serial communication:
Baud Rate = 19200
Data Bits = 8
Parity = none
Stop Bits = 1
Flow Control = none
